Tattoos? Yeah, we got some of those

I know I have been slacking on posting lately… so here is some of what I have been up to lately (that I could get photos of).

Cthulhu is in progress. This was the first session on his upper arm and I am super excited to get back into this one! Bob sits great and is fun to visit with during our sessions.

Ted the legit : ) adding a little bit more to his arm. The angel underneath was originally done elsewhere and I repaired and embellished her previously. This is Mariah’s armpit! Ouch!!! She sat way better than I would imagine that I would. I don’t know if I need to have my armpit tattooed. Maybe when I run out of room everywhere else? I have mentioned that I am a wimp when it comes to getting tattooed.The “eat me” goes along with Mariah’s Alice in Wonderland theme tattoo sleeve – and the “bite me” is much more Mariah than Alice. This little guy is healed and I was able to get a much nicer photo than when he was first done. I am trying to not bitch about how bad my photography skills are – but I have to tell you that this tattoo looks so much better in person than it does in these photos. I honestly didn’t know about the Ikea monkey when Herman asked me to make him a tattoo of “the monkey in the shearling coat” – but once I looked him up I was thrilled to make a fun little tattoo for him. I even came in on one of my days off to get him in for it. Thanks Herman! Mini portrait made for a friend of mine as a memorial for his sister. This tattoo is on the inside of his wrist in one of the places he had available. Loved making this tattoo for Natasha and honored to have been able to spend more time with her in the process. The reference for this is an embroidered tapestry – I have looked for what I did with the reference photos and can only find the print outs, not the original digital files. Perhaps I can post them if and when we add background to this one. This little guy is also on Natasha and made some time earlier (couple of weeks?). He is a Couch’s Spadefoot and is neither toad not frog although they are often called a Couch’s Spadefoot toad – they apparently have their very own genus. And you thought you were unique? This is Willi. He used to live with Sue when he was plodding along on this earth. He is greatly missed and I am glad that he will be with Sue everyday again now. You are missed and loved little guy.
